Silent Hill 2 remake is indeed coming to PlayStation Plus Game Catalog in October, just as a leak earlier this month claimed. Bloober Team's remake of the classic will be joined by yet another horror remake to mark the month of Halloween. Ballistic Moon's Until Dawn remake, which was released on PS5 and PC last year, will also be added to PS Plus Game Catalog in October. Other titles joining the service this month include action-adventure title Yakuza: Like a Dragon, action-RPG V Rising, interactive adventure title As Dusk Falls, puzzle horror title Poppy Playtime, and survival game Wizard with a Gun.
All games will be added to Game Catalog October 21 and will be available to PS Plus Extra and Deluxe/ Premium tier members. Sony also announced a classic Tekken title for its Classics Catalog, which will be available to PS Plus Premium subscribers this month. Here's a closer look at this month's Game Catalog lineup:
October is the month for all things horror. Sony kicked off Halloween celebrations by adding Alan Wake 2 to PS Plus earlier this month. And just as a leak had claimed, the PlayStation parent is adding the acclaimed remake of Silent Hill 2 to Game Catalog this month. Developed by Bloober Team, the remake updates the 2001 horror classic to modern visual standards, while also improving gameplay and other features.
The game puts players in the shoes of James Sunderland, a grieving widower who arrives to the eerie, foggy, and deserted town of Silent Hill in search of answers. The oppressive and isolating atmosphere of the eponymous town adds to the themes of psychological horror explored in the game. In Silent Hill 2, players encounter grotesque monsters and uncover bits and pieces of the past. The game is available on PS5.

Game Catalog will also add the Until Dawn remake this month. The remake, which updates the graphics of the original and adds some new content, allows players to essentially take control of a slasher flick and decide who lives and who dies. The game features a group of young friends who gather at a mountain lodge a year after a traumatic event. But as they reconnect and recollect, they find they're being hunted by a manic serial killer.
Until Dawn is a narrative adventure title and player decision dictates the game at every turn. Based on the choices you make, some or all of the characters can survive the cold night or die a violent death. The Until Dawn remake will be available to PS Plus subscribers on PS5.
Another major triple-A title joining PS Plus in October is Yakuza: Like a Dragon. Ryu Ga Gotoku's 2020 RPG introduces a new series protagonist in Ichiban Kasuga, a low-ranking member of a Yakuza family in Tokyo. Kasuga is betrayed by his former boss and over the course of the story, uncovers the conspiracy along with a group of quirky allies.
Yakuza: Like a Dragon also abandons the real-time action combat of its predecessors to bring turn-based RPG battles. Players are aided by party members and their distinct abilities and can also use their environments during battles. Yakuza: Like a Dragon will be playable on both PS4 and PS5.

Sony is also bringing V Rising to Game Catalog in October. The vampire survival action-RPG was released on PS5 last year. The game features an open world, with players taking control of a vampire. As players feed on humans and get stronger, they also build their stronghold, upgrade their equipment, and take on powerful bosses. The RPG will be available to PS Plus members on PS5.
Here's the full list of games joining Game Catalog in October:
Silent Hill 2 remake (PS5)
Until Dawn remake (PS5)
V Rising (PS5)
Yakuza: Like a Dragon (PS4, PS5)
Poppy Playtime: Chapter 1 (PS4, PS5)
